James L. Brooks’ romantic comedy starring Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon previously untitled and then known as “How Do You Know?” has once again undergone a name change.
Brooks has revealed to Vulture the film is now going by the title “Everything You’ve Got” though quickly added that the revolving door hadn’t stopped yet and “there might actually be a third title coming soon… Titles make me nuts. I have a terrible time with titles.”
The latest iteration derives from a line by Witherspoon as she confesses to Rudd that “I mean, if you can’t give everything you’ve got to whatever your doing right now, then you’ll never be able to give everything to anything,” a line that evidently resonates with Rudd.
“Two people meet on the worst nights of their lives,” Brooks adds of the story. “And they’re being tested by adversity. I think the thing about life is, most of us reach that point where life can’t be the same when this thing happens. It’s just then when you have to give everything you’ve got and pray that it’s enough.”
The film also stars the likes of Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson and is currently in post-production and is set for release on December 17th.
